An Overview

Industry scene

Approximately 15 million students take up higher education in India every year. On the other hand, job opportunities are set to grow to 156 million jobs by 2016. Estimates are that India would require 800 more Universities and 350000 colleges in the next 10 years to be able to deliver education to this kind of increase in demand. This demand could be catered to only by Distance learning that could reach large number of students and from wide geographies.

Distance Education in India

Inadequate physical infrastructure for future India s potential students, shortage of good quality teachers, and ever improving technology and internet infrastructure has driven a huge and diverse distance-learning market. The current enrolment in Distance Education in India is over 10 million every year. Many observers expect the Indian distance-learning student numbers to double every year for the next five years.

MBA scenario in India

Only 150,000 out of the estimated 500,000 applicants gain admission into the 2000 recognized business schools. Around 350,000 more aspirers are catered to by Distance Education MBA programs. It is generally observed that only a small percentage of B schools offer quality education. A big majority of other B-schools and distance learning universities neither offer a desired quality in education nor able to assist in placements for their students.

Advantage Distance Learning MBA programs

When the top B-schools cater to only a few thousand students, distance learning MBA programs have gained prominence. The advantages -

The executive could continue his job while studying, or the graduate could look for a job while studying

The enrolment process is much easier and simpler

The fee of the MBA is many times lower than regular MBA education

The convenience of Anytime, Anywhere education

What does a typical Distance Learning MBA program do?

The perspective of most Distance Learning Universities is to provide a low cost, low quality MBA. It is typically administered through a combination of mediums such as print and on-line (text/videos/audios). The treatment is more like providing a library rather than providing education.

What is the step forward?

The only practical solution to move forward is to create a highly scalable distance education system with optimal quality, industry-relevance and interactivity coupled with its affordable prices.
